Our research group is
CHIMPS (Computer Human Interaction: Mobility Privacy Security).
We do research in smartphone privacy, usable security, and AI bias and fairness, drawing on ideas and methods from human-computer interaction, machine learning, systems, and social psychology.
We have had a lot of positive impact on science and on practice. Our work on anti-phishing was adopted by industry groups,
inspired the design of anti-phishing browser warnings.
Our team's work on PrivacyGrade.org has influenced industry and policy makers with respect to smartphone privacy.
We also developed new kinds of smartphone user interfaces for privacy as part of the DARPA Brandeis Privacy Enhancements for Android.
Our work has also been featured in CNN, New York Times, BBC, CBS News, MIT Tech Review, World Economic Forum, and more.
Our team has been generously funded by DARPA, National Science Foundation, Army Research Office, Amazon, IBM,
Google, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, NQ Mobile, Pitney Bowes, Portugal Telecom, Samsung, Yahoo, CMU Cylab, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and more.
I help run the Pervasive Computing subreddit. I sometimes write for BLOG@CACM.
I was also a co-founder of Wombat Security Technologies, which developed cybersecurity training software that helped train millions of people around the world.
Wombat Security was acquired by Proofpoint in March 2018.
